PLANTS ... AND SQUEALS!

Lacy left her succulent plants here while she was moving.

I put them out the back among my mint plants.

Yesterday Lacy went and checked on them and found them looking a little bit worse for wear.

She took me to task about it.

So I said "You dropped off babies and I didn't kill them... don't expect me to keep ya plants alive!  I don't do plants!

We had a right laugh over it!  Brylee I swear, nearly wet her pants.

SQUEALS!!!

Today our new lounge suite arrives.

It took me several phone calls to Nick Scali before nailing them down to delivering it today.

They were trying to say it was coming down from Auckland to Hamilton today, but not delivered to our home until next week 'sometime'.

Fuck that!   I wanted it delivered HERE today.

And I got them to do it.

So... I fully expect a phone call from the delivery man sometime this morning with a ETA for TODAY.

So excited.  I am 100% positive this will be our LAST lounge suite.

From memory, we have had ... about TEN lounge suites over the past 35 years!

And most of them have been given to family members over the years. 

And let's not even try to remember how many single lounge chairs we have given away, plus homeware, beds, drawers, kitchenware, linen etc etc etc.

So.  This morning I'm going into Nick Scali to get some Leather protector stuff.  I don't think we got any when we ordered the lounge suite. And that should be put on before use I'm sure.

I also want to get a Swiss Ball... to do squats at home against a wall.  I DESPERATELY need to strengthen my legs and knees.

And lastly, some more of this stuff:  

ABOVE:  My FBG friend Christine H gave it to me.  It's AMAZING!  I had very dry feet and cracked heels.  Since using this cream, my feet and heels are soft and smooth again, and no cracks on my heels!  I am never going to stop using it.

ABOVE: Bex finally got around to cutting the boys hair.  They were looking like sheep.   I know how it feels 'having' to do kids hair.  I did my 8 kids plus Stew's for YEARS.

Not that Bex can't take them to the hair salon/barber of course. They just choose to do it themselves.  She was just putting it off as long as she could.

OK, it's time to get a move on.  Catch ya later.

11 am:  I just can't get moving today!

No energy, yet I slept well all night.

I've done some ironing.

Watching After Life on Netflix.  It's bloody slow as f*#k.

Does it ever get interesting?  Or should I stop watching it now?

I will go out soon to get those things on me list.

The furniture isn't due till 'sometime' this afternoon. 😕😖  Why can't anyone give you even an approximate time?

Like, we all love just sitting around the house waiting for 'sometime' to happen right.

Actually, I feel crabby as f*#k today.  No idea why.  Sorry.

ABOVE:  Got a ball. Got the cream.  The leather protector stuff in coming with the lounge suite.

So is my receipt of payment, which I've been asking for since last Saturday.  I find that weird, you cough up thousands of dollars and they don't give you a receipt straight away? 

Just another thing to bug me I suppose.

Have you ever heard of SAD?  Seasonal Affective Disorder?  I think I have it in reverse.  Look it up, I can't be bothered explaining it.

I just want cooler weather NOW.   I felt like passing out in Farmers just before, I was suffocating with my mask on.  And it's not even a super hot day today.  wtf

3.50 pm:  

ABOVE:  Can YOU see new lounge furniture?

Yeah.

Me neither.

Starting to wonder if it will arrive today?

ABOVE:   SIX THRITY!!!!  It finally arrived at 6.30 pm.  Those poor men had been working since 6.30 this morning, and they had three more deliveries to make this evening before they could return to Auckland!

ABOVE:  Unpacking...

ABOVE: All the packaging we have to take to the dump!

Now, I would show you the new suite, I know you too have been waiting all damn day!

But... I'm gunna be a right tart and show you.... TOMORROW!

Sorry!
